More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the bus at the Pearl Harbor Visitors Center with the harbor wind pushing cool, salty air against your face. The group moves with purpose: a short walk, a quick orientation and then the skiff that ferries visitors to the USS Arizona Memorial. The memorial sits low over the water, the ship’s dark hull visible beneath the surface, and the moment pulls conversation into reverent silence.
